ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook Arrive/Stolen?
Being a contributing author of the ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook, I got the complimentary copy today!! Thanks to SAMS, Steve and Rob at first.
However, when I get the mail from the lobby and discover that...
the envelop WAS OPENED!!
Yes, I think of PaulWilson immediately as I remember he mentioned his experience about the Book in his blog in the past:
Today I finally got my free copy, only it was already opened and stolen off my front porch, or somewhere in route. I've never had any stolen from my mail before, and this seemed like one of the least likely things to be taken. My wife even had something come today that's probably more useful and expensive, but I guess the package didn't look as interesting. The upside is that maybe someone around here will actually read it and start working with ASP.NET, and then later need my help to bail them out of a mess they get themselves into. I can dream anyway.
I don't know why, but the envelop was obviously opened. The book and 2 leaflets are still here, everything alright, but the cover was a bit dirty (You know, the cover is white in color so I can idenity the 'dirty' or 'fingerprint' easily)
The mail and envelop don't have any chop or identification for "censor" from Custom Department or UPS company, but ... I think I will know who did it if I saw anyone post a "Review" on this book earlier than me, as I'm pretty sure I'm the first one who own this book in Hong Kong.... Will see...
